The living conditions of the tenants of "Silver Peer," multiunit dwellings for elderly people built by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, were surveyed to explore the possibilities of future Silver Peer planning which takes declines in the tenanls' physical functions into consideration. This paper discusses the need for care in everyday activities, such as having meals and taking a bath, in view of the tenants' health conditions, and examines actual use of in-home welfare services, such as helper services and in-home meal services, considering age.
